MESS is a pedal that opens up a new world of possibilities. MESS blends traditional sound
shaping with generative and performance power with four independent effect tracks can be
freely assigned to over 120 studio-quality effects, all with sequenceable control over multiple
parameters. Start a sequence and create entirely new textures that evolve in time — from lush
ambient washes to glitchy chaos. Or switch off the sequencer and use MESS as a powerful,
traditional multi-effects pedal.

Over 120 Effects. Built to Sequence and Stack.

Mess features 120 high-quality, stereo effects, ranging from traditional to the experimental.

Choose from analog-style modulation and time-based staples or innovative spectralizers and

new ways to use granular engines.

Multi-Mode Reverb: 5 reverb modes with 25 submodes, from massive ambience to

realistic room and plate simulations.

Granular Bust: A Dynamic multi-mode granular engine that transforms audio in real

time.

Particle Sampler: Unique granular sampling effect that captures audio from a selected

step are replays it rhythmically.

Micro-Looping: Chopping and repeating with direct control. Loop tiny fragments of

sound or large subdivisions for synced micro-fragments to precise rhythmic chaos.

ntuitive slicing, looping, and rhythmic manipulation from micro-fragments to precisely

timed repeats.

Deluge of Delays: Multi-tap, ping-pong and single delay engines with models from tape,

analog, digital and more.

Modulation of Every Sort: over 25 submodes of modulation from tremolos, seasick

vibratos, classic choruses or robotic flangers.

Many Shapes: 12 unique shaper modes ranging from subtle saturation and overdrive to

aggressive bitcrushing and sample-rate reduction.

Spectralizers: Two spectral modes for wild pre-reverberations, alien screams or gentle

harmonic smearing.●

EQ, Filter, Pan and Automate:Sequence filters and panners for dynamic tonal shaping,

enhanced stereo fields, and vocal formant effects.

Repitch Everything: Dedicated pitch shifters and sequenced repitching for granular,

spectral, and loop effects.

Make Anything Musical

MESS’s 16-step grid pad is a real time sequencer and editor — with intuitive hands-on control

that rewards experimentation without an advanced degree in sound design required. Sequence

effect parameters, start or stop sequences without cutting out the effects, or build complex

polyrhythmic patterns that evolve as you play.

Per-step parameter sequencing

Adjustable track length and playback speed for polymeter and polyrhythm creation

Chance and probability control for generative sequences or precisely times effects

Tap tempo synchronization ensures rhythmic precision for delays, tremolos, and slicers

Quickswap effects and change the effects order with the push of a button

4-Track Sequencing Power

Each track runs independently, with detailed control over parameters, time divisions and length.

Create slow spectral sweeps by slowing a sequencer down to 1/16th of the chosen tempo while

increasing the speed of a microlooper for chaotic glitchy stutters all in the same patch. MESS

has the tools to build-up textures or tear them apart.

What Makes MESS Different?

MESS turns effects into an instrument. Unlike conventional multi-effects units that rely on static

presets, MESS offers dynamic, programmable, and performative sound design. This effects

powerhouse is equally at home on pedalboards, in modular synth setups, or integrated into

DAW-less setups—making it ideal for guitarists, synthesists, drum machine enthusiasts, and

sound designers.
